ABOUT THE BOOK
Environment Disasters and the Law offers a comprehensive account of India's legal response to environmental harm arising from industrialisation, technological risk and regulatory failure. First published in 1994 and now substantially revised, the book brings together constitutional principles, statutory reforms, judicial intervention and administrative action. It treats environmental disasters not as isolated accidents but as outcomes of weak enforcement, fragmented oversight and delayed institutional response. With M.C. Mehta v. Union of India as a central anchor, it examines hazardous industries, compensation, prevention, accountability and ethical governance. It also considers the statutory framework under the Jan Vishwas (Amendment of Provisions) Act, 2023 and the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974, as amended in 2024.
